Search engines use programs that detect articles that have same contents as others previously submitted. It is important to consider having articles that are rich in various styles, meaning, and context. Make sure your articles are rich in knowledge and they contain valuable information that any reader will find useful and beneficial.

Articles should be rich in content but need not be too long. Make sure that the article is directly related to the contents searched for. You can check the content by being the reader yourself by asking if you will be motivated reading the article, will it enlighten you, or will it lead you to have that interest of knowing the product or services rendered.
